Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 21,293. Talbot, P. A. Sept. 18. Water - tube boilers; instantaneous g e n e r ators; feed-water, controlling. - Relates to boilers built up in sections arranged one above the other, with means for preventing gravity flow from an upper to a lower section until the upper section is filled with water. According to the present invention, the sections are composed of straight tubes connected to headers. The tubes are of standard sizes and weights. Figs. 1 and 2 show one arrangement. Each section consists of Field-tubes 20 connected to a header 1, which is fitted internally with partitions dividing the tubes into groups in series. The headers are placed one above the other over a furnace and are connected together by pipes 28 with upward bends to prevent the water from passing from one section to another until the upper section is filled. Additional sections are arranged one on each side of the furnace so as to form inclined walls; these sections act mainly as superheaters. The pipes 28 may be replaced by straight pipes fitted with a check valve which is spring loaded so as to allow the water to pass only when the section above is filled. In another modification. each header is divided into horizontal compartments, the water being caused to pass from one compartment to another over partitions. For regulating the water supply, the difference in expansion between a fixed bar 5 outside the boiler and a tube of one of the sections at the side of the furnace is utilized. The movements of the tube are transmitted to a lever 51, Fig. 2, and thence to a vertical shaft 54, which is connected with the feed-valve. In another arrangement, the bar 5 is dispensed with and the tube connected by an arm with a vertical bar supported at the ends in bearings and provided at the upper end with a connexion to the feedvalve.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Measuring, Supplying or Distributing Liquids.
Inventor: BAILLIE GRANVILLE HUGH
IPC: B67D7/58
Filed: 1912-10-15
Granted: 1913-10-15
Abstract: 23,530. Baillie, G. H. Oct. 15. Regulating delivery by stop-valves; measuring- devices.-A pump for delivering measured quantities of liquid is provided with a device for arresting the flow of liquid, or actuating an indicator, when a leakage occurs past a valve so as to vary the pressure of liquid beyond the valve. The suction pipe 5, Fig. 2, is provided with a second foot valve 4, and the delivery takes place through the valve 7 and pipe 8. A Venturi device 9, shown enlarged in Fig. 1, is provided in the delivery pipe, in which a sliding plug 14 with a transverse passage 15 is controlled by the delivery pressure in the chamber 13 and the suction pressure in the pipe 10. As long as the upper foot valve is tight, the plug 14 will be forced to the left, thus allowing delivery of liquid, but in the event of leakage of the valve the delivery pressure will be transmitted through the pipe 10, and will force the plug 14 to the right, thus closing the passage 15. The means for arresting the flow of liquid may be independent of the Venturi tube, being operated merely by difference of pressure. Instead of arresting the flow of liquid, the plunger 14 may only actuate an indicator, and the whole device may be used so as to operate in the event of a leak in the delivery valve of the pump.

Granted: 1915-08-19
Abstract: 22,653. Prideaux, W. de C. Nov. 17. [Cognate Applications, 23,670114 and 7100/15.] Ammunition receptacles. - Relates to cartridge clips of the kind described in Specification 3560/93 for loading revolvers and comprising an annulus of spring blades 1, 2, Fig. 1, projecting from a base 13 and provided with a disk 5, which slides along the spring blades to eject the cartridges from the clip and to push them into the chamber of the revolver. The invention consists in a number of improvements of detail to prevent the complete withdrawal of the disks from the blades, the accidental fall of the cartridges from the clip, and the accidental explosion of the cartridges in the clip, and to facilitate the insertion of the cartridges into the clip, their transfer into the chamber of the revolver, and the carrying of the clip. As shown in Fig. 1, the blades 1, 2 are bent at their outer ends 3, 4, and the disk 5 is connected by members 24, 25 to a bridgepiece 23 normally pressed away from the base 13 of the clip by a spring 26. This arrangement gives a double security against the withdrawal of the disk. Instead of bending the outer ends of the blades, the disk may be provided with tongues projecting into grooves or slots extending along the blades but stopping short of the ends of the blades, or the base 13 of the clip may be provided with a central post 14, Fig. 4, passing through a hole in the disk and provided at its outer end with a head-piece 15 which confines the disk. A cup 19 or a skeleton cap is detachably secured to the central post or to the blades to enclose and protect the cartridges in the clips, and holes 21. Fig. 3, are made in the disk 5 where the primers of the cartridges rest to avoid accidental ignition. The insertion of the cartridges into the clip from the side is permitted by making the outer blades 1 narrow at their base to allow entrance space for the rim of the cartridge. The transfer of the cartridges from the clip to the revolver chamber is facilitated by shaping the tongues of the disk, which fit into grooves of the blades as abovementioned, so that they cause the blades to open out when the disk is pushed forwards, and also by giving the clip of cartridges a conical formation as shown, by inclining the blades or shaping the part of the disk that bears against the base of the cartridge in the form of a cone, so that when the cartridges are pushed into the revolver chamber by the disk, the outer or inner edges of the cartridges are the first to come in contact with the walls of their respective chambers, and the cartridges are gradually deflected into alinement with the chambers and loosened from the spring blades. Loops or rings 22 are provided on the cup 19, or the bridge 23 or other part of the clip to facilitate the carriage of the clip, or its attachment to a belt or bandolier.
